1701D
So, Lisa and I were watching Battlestar Galactica last night......yeah, that's right, my wife watches Battlestar Galactica with me. She's cool. She liked "V" too, okay?
So, ANYWAY, we're watching BSG and we get to the scene where Calley follows the Chief to his secret meeting in compartment...wait for it...1701D.
I pause the picture and point at the screen, thinking it was a cool nod to all us Trek-lovers that they would use the registry of our beloved Starship Enterprise (at least, the TNG version) and this was obviously a reference to BSG creator Ronald Moore's time working on ST:TNG.
Lisa just stared at me. And, after I had explained all that to her, she sadly shook her head and asked if we could keep watching the episode.
Sometimes, I think she thinks I'm kind of a dork.

Sometimes????
V rocks. But only in memory form. I once rented it from Blockbuster Total Access (when I was abusing a free 30 day trial offer) and found it... um... didn't "rock" anymore.
Well, you did give her some evidence, didn't you? I don't have a clue what you're talking about on this! But I was never into the space movies at all. Too busy learning every line of "Robin Hood: Men in Tights"!
Star Trek fans are NOT 'dorks'. We are highly intellectual, technically savy visionaries. At least, that's what I like to think!
Wow - just when I thought watching TV with my husband (basketball) couldn't get worse, I read something like this. Thank goodness I'm not stuck with BSG and baseball! :) KIDDING! (Kinda...)
We all have our sicknesses.......
Your wife loves you a lot!!
:)
Better to be thought of as a dork than to . . . ah forget it - embrace your galactic knowledge and lead the way for others!
I don't understand. Of course, I married into a family that decides to have a Ferengi night across all ST universes, and has video tapes of all episodes, indexed, so maybe I'm not the best person to comment on this post.
Never mind.
I could have written this post. I get the same look and comments from my wife.
I am glad there are others who don't understand. That makes me feel less un-cool.
I remember watching TV in college with my roommate and a wonder years promo-ad came up. It was only a few seconds, but the kids in the program were acting out a Star Trek episode. Without thinking I laughed and blurted out the name of the episode they were re-enacting: "Spock's Brain". My roommate looked at me and said "What?!" I had to explain and it just showed that I had watched way too much Star Trek growing up. (I had most of the books too.) As a result, I think I convinced her that I'm a bottomless pit of trivia and she would amuse herself by asking me odd questions just to see if I knew the answer. I got back at her though, I got her hooked on The Next Generation and took her to Trekkie conventions. :)
